Am I correct in assuming you are on a Windows based system? As you've never
heard of tar, you probably never touched a unix system before. If I'm wrong
and your system is unix based, you will need to study unix a lot more.
A lot of files that have .gz or .tar are usually for unix based systems and
will not run under Windows.
